Quantity

Kilims from the Malatya region are woven from dense, tightly spun wools.
Because of the quality of the wools, the patterns in this region are generally very fine and rich.
The colors used - blue, red, green, orange, beige - are dense and contrasting.

Weaving : Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers.
Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.

Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.

These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.
